meeting was called to order Captain B
B. Paddock extended an invitation to tn
members to take an excursion over hi
road. In extending this invitation Cap
tain Paddock took occasion to re
fer to the fact that he had not made G
speech for tWenty-four hours and b,
thought it his time now. With becom
ing modesty and reserve he mildly
veptured to remark that the For
Worth and Rio Grande was a railroad
somewhat unique. 1t had the distinc
ton of owning the best track, the best
ties, the best iron, the best cars, engines
and rolling stock of any road in the
country; 1t had the purest air, best water
and afforded the traveller acres anC
acres of delightful scenery. 1t had, more
over, the best managers-men who had
learned the elementary rudiments and
technical knowledge necessary to make
successful railroad men, in the sanctum
of newspaper office, where knowledge
of ell sorts IS found. The newspaper
sanctum was indeed an emporium OF
wisdom. His road would be ready in two
minutes to furnish cars and would be
ready every minute from that time on IN
/ til tonight.
The invitation was accepted with
! thanks.
